Morihei Ueshiba (1883 - 1969) drew on his extensive martial art experience, then tempered these traditional Japanese fighting techniques with a spiritual dimension to create the modern defensive martial arts of aikido, the way of harmony. His efforts were supported by some of prewar Japan's most colourful characters, including luminaries such as Admiral Isamu Takeshita, the famous religious leader Onisaburo Deguchi, and various members of the Imperial family. Here is the story of the early years of aikido as told by the students who lived it.

Painstakingly translated from the Japanese and meticulously edited from hundreds of hours of interviews conducted by Aiki News Encyclopedia of Aikido, this is the one aikido book you can't afford to miss!

We can send your item(s) in the following ways:

Courier Tracked - Order before 1pm, we can pack and post the same day to be with you the next working day, this is not a weekend service. It is fully tracked and we will send you the tracking number when we process your order.

Evri - In our experience an extremely slow service, we cannot guarantee it will arrive. It isn't an option on the website for good reason, so if you want this pitiful service and your parcel thrown into a random hedge near your house, if you're lucky, just to save about £2 then simply call us on 0117 942 5832 and we can process your order over the phone.
